    Default Shonen Jump

    Shonen Jump is a Japanese Company which distributes famous Manga like Dragonball, Jojo, Naruto, and My Hero Academia. Although Jump itself mainly produces Manga, the majority of them have been adapted into highly successful anime, which is why I'm making this thread in this subforum. The purpose of this thread is to discuss the various series running in Jump and have a good time in general. Some of the series already have their own threads, but they can still be discussed here as well

    Now is a very good time to look into Jump, as they have recently revamped their online service. The New Weekly issues are now freely available in english, simultaneously published with Japan, and access to the entire back log is only 1.99.

    -----

    To kick the discussion off, I'm going to give my thoughts on the recently released Chapters (The ones I read, anyway) and the series as a whole

    Boruto: An alright Chapter. I'm aware that Naruto is holding back for strategic reasons, but I still think Delta is being pushed as too threatening to him, but it's a minor issue all things considered. I'm liking Kawaki more than I ever expected to. Boruto himself hasn't really wowed me, though I do like the growth I've seen so far. Sarada needs more screentime

    Chainsaw Man: I'm iffy on this series overall, as the lead character is somewhat inconsistant as far as likeability goes, but this chapter is a decent send off to the current arc

    Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba: This chapter really showcases how far our boy Tanjiro Kamado has come

    Dr. Stone: A Very Solid chapter from a great series, and the ending bit reminds me of way back when Kohaku was introduced. It's a kind of seismic shift that changes the status quo in a way that's different from Senku shifting his focus

    Dragonball Super: I'm loving what they're doing with Vegeta in this arc, and I like the new villain as well, even If I can clearly see parallels between him and previous bad guys

    Hell Warden Higuma: A Solid chapter, and I'm really enjoying the fact that Higuma has a personal stake in this battle.

    My Hero Academia: Eri is adorable. Enough said.

    The Promised Neverland: Another solid chapter, I don't really have much to say about this one.

    One Piece: A characteristically stuffed Chapter from One Piece. The Robin gag made me lol, andof all the ongoing plots, The Big Mom stuff is what I'm most eager to see play out.

    I enjoyed them all. Chainsaw man is my favorite, reminds me of Devilman Crybaby, but One Piece had a really good chapter this week.

    They're headed to the prison, so she might end up helping Luffy break out. Become friends with the Strawhats and help take down Kiedo. She might die to make room for the next generation of Yonko
